The Craft Beer Beast Is Back – Snallygaster 2016

, The Craft Beer Beast Is Back – Snallygaster 2016

One of our favorite craft beer events is returning to the nation’s capital on September 17th. And if you’ve never attended Snallygaster– it’s time to rethink how you’re living your life.

Named after a mythical dragon-like beast, once rumored to inhabit the hills surrounding Washington, DC at the turn of the century, Snallygaster is a an epic craft beer festival. It’s also one of the region’s most important beer events and if you care about craft beer, it’s not to be missed.

Unlike so many craft beer festivals that offer a roster of familiar standards along with the occasional rarity, Snallygaster does just the opposite, and for that reason alone, it’s not to be missed.

As always, all the beer at Snallygaster is being curated by craft beer wunderkind Greg Engert, the Beer Director for the Neighborhood Restaurant Group, the people behind Birch & Barley, ChurchKey, Bluejacket & The Arsenal, Rustico, Sovereign and Canteen, some of region’s best beer destinations. Greg lives beer and his expertise is part of what makes this festival shine.

He always brings in the best, and much of it, you may never have seen before…

For this year’s beerganza, Greg has assembled some 350 beers from all around the world – including all kinds of special one-offs, autumn seasonals, barrel-aged brews a huge collection of cask ales and more. These are the kinds of offerings that you only see at the most acclaimed craft beer outings like SAVOR or the Firestone Walker Invitational.

Bottom line – there’s not a better non-Brewers Association event on the East Coast. And if you’ve not already made plans to attend this year’s throwdown – you’re making a HUGE mistake.
